old mt alford rd loop, with pete.
Note
Pete and I spent the day turning a garage full of bike bits into 4 whole bikes - 1 mtb, 2 single speed cruisers and a bmx (which was a total rust bucket, but is now very bling with shiny chrome and new paint). I ended up with the cleaning/sanding/painting jobs, and pete got to take apart all the wheels etc - very messy!

Another slow run - out at boonah again now.

Very flat boring slow run... but my calf didn't hurt too much. Maybe proper training soon!

Physio Thor had a look at my sick calf. Most of the muscle isn't sore any more, but its still very painful where it inserts at the back of my knee. Lots of ice and massage required, and I shouldn't cycle for a while, and take it really easy with running, and definitely no hills.
Hopefully a couple of days off and it will be better. It really sucks that I can't cycle - I really don't want to end up having to swim as cross training.

Running 1:25:00 [3] 16.0 km (5:19 / km)
supposed to be a long run this morning, but 85mins isn't long. ran from Ian's place with some of the cyclones crew. felt like crap. calves are a mess, I think I'll try and avoid any hill running for a while and see if that helps.

Note
rhr:72 (rest day)
Didn't feel sick today, but definitely didn't feel right. Resting heart rate was stupidly high (usually about 40), and stayed high all day with some kinda weird chest pain. Hopefully another day off and I'll be ok - I'm sick of not training. Calves are still quite sore, so an extra day of rest should help them too.
Thursday Dec 14, 2006 #
Note
Massage this morning. It hurt lots - it hate my calves! hopefully a bit more streching will improve things so that I can go for a jog this evening.

Cycling 1:40:00 [3] 45.0 km (2:13 / km)
(injured)
River ride with the trolls. Felt like total crap, I didn't sleep, I hit the wall riding down my street before I even met the group, and my right calf was totally stuffed - I wasn't getting any power out of my right leg and by the end of the ride I couldn't straighten my right leg and had to ride with a wonky pointed foot.
Luckily I've got an appointment for a massage tomorrow morning. I think its going to hurt a lot though :-(

Running race 20:53 [5] 5.0 km (4:11 / km)
time trial at the UQ track with the rest of the cyclones. my first 5k track run! just as painful and boring as expected, and my time should be easy enough to beat next time!
calf was a bit sore, but I don't think it slowed me down

Splits from the 5k - 3.56, 4.17, 4.17, 4.18, 4.06
Maybe if I can learn to pace the run a bit more evenly I might get a better time!! I just get so bored!

Note
Conference field trip to the Barossa valley - although it became clear about lunch time that we really should have stayed in Adelaide and gone to the cricket. Luckily our bus driver was giving us detailed match updates after each visit.
Finished the day with wine tasting and croquet at chateau tanunda.

Running 48:00 [3] 10.0 km (4:48 / km)
Skipped the last session of the conference and went for an easy run along the Torrens.
Did my presentation this morning (which I finished writing last night), I think it went pretty well - I even had answers for all the tricky questions at the end.

Running 1:28:00 [3] 17.0 km (5:11 / km)
Long run from Ian's place at the Gap - ran up to South Boundary Rd and through Gap Creek. Pretty slow as it was quite steep, and I was feeling very average as my stomach didn't let me eat dinner last night. Great swim in Ian's pool after.
Saw a snake that had been chopped into slices and scattered down the track - I recon it tried to go through someones front wheel!
Also saw a guy riding a penny-farthing loaded up with pannier racks while I was driving home - didn't look like a particularly efficient way to get around!

Cycling 1:35:00 [4] 45.0 km (2:07 / km)
River ride with the trolls. OMG! it was so fast! As I discovered this morning, Wednesday was the social ride, and Friday is fast! managed not to get dropped and even managed about 90secs on the front which I was pretty happy with. Bit of a change from my cruisy rides around the Boonah countryside!
